\section main_intro Introduction
|
|
|
|
libnl is a set of libraries to deal with the netlink protocol and some
|
|
of the high level protocols implemented on top of it. The goal is to
|
|
provide APIs on different levels of abstraction. The core library libnl
|
|
provides a fundamental set of functions to deal with sockets, construct
|
|
messages, and send/receive those messages. Additional high level interfaces
|
|
for several individual netlink protocols are provided in separate
|
|
libraries (e.g. "nl-route", "nl-genl", ...).
|
|
|
|
The library is designed to ensure that all components are optional, i.e.
|
|
even though the core library provides a caching system which allows to
|
|
easly manage objects of any kind, no application is required to use this
|
|
caching system if it has no need for it.
|
|
|
|
The library was developed and tested on 2.6.x kernel releases. It may
|
|
or may not work with older kernel series. Also, although all netlink
|
|
protocols are required to maintain backwards compatibility, this has not
|
|
always achieved and undesired side effects can occur if a recent libnl
|
|
version is used with a considerably older kernel.
